EDIT: Just noticed the limit for 30 days, guess I'll get one.

-------------------------
there will not be 30 days.
any returns for a refund will go out to waitlisted people.
many of those on the waitlist will have their open orders cancelled.
I'm definitely in for one of these, although that's a lot of $$ for the packaging. Complain about me complaining in advance, but these things better be of much higher quality than what they've been turning out so far this year.
I'm glad they did the "one per household" thingy.
Phone order or online????

As far as I've been told by the mint, these will not go on sale in the physical sales outlets until after the household limits are removed.
<< <i>Are you guys going to try to order by phone or do you think it'll be easier to order on line? >>
It's always a crapshoot.
You got the guys posting their online order #'s within 5 minutes of the opening bell.
Then you got the guys saying the phone order went thru with ease, while everyone else is cursing and screaming the Mint sucks!!!!
Thursday wil be very interesting.....will the Mint suck?????
The Mint has had enogh experience with these hot issues....sooo, will they be ready for us ravenous coiners???
Remember when the online ordering was shut down for two months(?) or so.
I cannot remember which issue it was....was it the bald eagles? Oh Rob!!! Anyone???
Oh yea, I forgot the original question.
I'm going for the online ordering.....good luck to all!!!!
Post you order #'s here!!!!!

This is correct - i.e., they will not be on sale there as they will sell out long before the limit is removed.

I doubt they are going to up their bandwidth and phone lines for few hot days a year, but who knows.
As far as my expectations, I'm expecting the worst (site slow and can't get through on the phones for an hour plus) just so I won't be disappointed.

As for the issue... I think the site went down around the time of the 20th anniversary AGEs.

Don't we get a new reverse in 2010?

not unless they discontinue it at the last minute
eBay pre-sales are running $140-175.
I'm sure there will be a lot of disgruntled people frustrated in their efforts to purchase these from the mint. Nothing's changed.

Online..., and yup GBully good memory, mint website issue was during the release of the Bald Eagle Commems, a really stupid decision to transition ecommerce during the release of a new product...Phone ordering was available but left no real way to know if/when the items were shipped...Then there was the storm that hit the shipping center...It was one thing after another with that one....
Lastly, I never recall being booted off for logging in before noon?

What is a "PER SELL"
As for the flippers... With a (1) set limit (and yes I know you will get more), is it really worth whipping this meager issue into such a frenzy?
If the mint was still issueing the coins that have been cancelled, would anyone really care about this set?
<< <i>These sets look wonderful - I wish they would make a million sets available if necessary. >>
That would require catering to collectors instead of flippers.

Damn, Casman...I actually remembered correctly!!
I hope they got the bugs out since then.
I don't have 2 hours devoted to buy one set of pennies and a silver half!!
<< <i>These sets look wonderful - I wish they would make a million sets available if necessary. >>
That wouldn't be any fun.....Rarity, my friend, is the key!!!!
Good luck to all who want this one!!!!!
See you guys at high noon on Thursday!!
Oh and Rob, You always beat me to the punch!!!
Hey Curly, are you in???
